He continued: "Moreover, calibration updates can be rolled out to all instruments inside the company network with a few mouse clicks or specific versions can be assigned to a limited number of spectrometers. This allows setting up a global network with local adjustments if required."

In the meantime, ONET has been sucessfully implemented at multiple international key accounts like New Hope Liuhe Co.Ltd., the largest feed producer in China. Ms. Sui Li, NIR specialist of New Hope Liuhe commented: "We started testing the ONET networking software in February 2014 and received professional support throughout the implementation from Bruker China as well as the Bruker headquarters in Germany. Today, ONET brings us a lot of advantages for managing almost 100 NIR spectrometers, not only for calibration, instrument and operator management, but also for the data management and data security. This allows us to have a more streamlined workflow and a substantial decrease in maintenance expenses. ONET hugely simplifies the management and distribution of NIR calibration models which speeds up the use of NIR applications in a big company like the New Hope Liuhe group."

ONET supports the connection of LIMS to the central data base and is available in English, Chinese, French, German and Spanish. The number of clients in the network is only limited by the performance of the server and the network data transfer rate.
